In context
4For we account your pity of us on the terms of unlawful escape to be worse than death.
5And you think to scare us, by threatening us with death by tortures, as though thou hadst learned nothing by the death of Eleazar.
— 4 Maccabees 9:6 —
7Make the attempt, then, O tyrant; and if thou puttest us to death for our religion, think not that thou harmest us by torturing us.
8For we through this ill-treatment and endurance shall bear off the rewards of virtue.
